In separate, but semi-related news, rumors began to circulate late last week that Nintendo was interested in hiring former Sony head Ken Kutaragi, who, having fathered the PlayStation and its predecessors, is leaving the company. But speaking with the Japanese press, Nintendo's president said that such rumors were unfounded.

whilst nintendo says its unfounded just the very idea that THAT madman could be working at nintendo sends a shiver down my spine......

         It is already denied by Iwata, saying something like, 'i don't see this happening'

Do you really think this is gonna happen?!... The only thing i can do is LAUGH IN YOUR FACE...

 

Back on-topic: Katuragi is still involved in some Sony projects and closely involved with the planning of PS4.

I seriously doubt it. Most high level employees have no-compete clauses in their contract that prevent them from working with competitors for a few years.

 KK has met great goals 2 times : PS and PS2. That IMO deserves respect, that is all ...

That part of realization cannot be denied to him.

Kuturagi did so much for console gaming as a whole, the Playstation 1 and 2 both pushed the other consoles to be better to compete with them. You can't say the guy didn't do a lot.

Also Kuturagi still works for Sony, he is in that Cellius company that was made by Sony and Namco to make games making use of the PS3 cell processor.



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!
